Indefinite Prison Term Sought for Murder of "Don Juan of Kishu"

   Tokyo, Nov. 18 (Jiji Press)--Japanese prosecutors on Monday sought an indefinite prison term in the lay-judge trial of a 28-year-old woman suspected of murdering her former wealthy businessman husband nicknamed the "Don Juan of Kishu" in western Japan.
   Saki Sudo allegedly killed 77-year-old Kosuke Nozaki in Tanabe, Wakayama Prefecture. Kishu is the old name for the region that includes Wakayama.
   The ruling is scheduled to be handed down Dec. 12.
   In seeking the indefinite sentence, the prosecution said that Nozaki's life and properties had been taken, which was a grave form of "damage."
   They claimed that "the defendant had opportunities to make (Nozaki) take stimulants." Nozaki died of acute stimulant poisoning.
